:15:00
no, no, no, no!
:15:03
The highest-grossing fight
in the history of boxing...
:15:07
Is Cooney versus Holmes.
:15:10
- Can you tell me why, James?
- Yeah. Cos Cooney was a white boy.
:15:15
And his jab couldn't break wind.
:15:22
If there ain't a white guy out there for you,
:15:25
I'm gonna create you one.
:15:30
Fred Sultan.
:15:32
You and I are gonna take a close look
at this boxing promoter,
:15:35
this exploiter, embezzler,
:15:39
charlatan and demagogue.
:15:42
By the time our journey is over,
I'm gonna expose him for what he really is:
:15:47
The devil incarnate.
:15:50
The real story begins in 1953 in Atlanta,
:15:54
when a young man
by the name of Fred Johnson,
:15:57
who had been a child evangelist
:15:59
and who'd been caught running
a pyramid scam on his parishioners,
:16:02
was arrested and convicted for assault. He
nearly stomped a man to death, very brutally.
:16:09
What army is this? All right, all right.
Enough. Not again. Not again.
:16:13
- Get this on camera.
- Don't you touch him again.
:16:17
- Yes. Rolling.
- I've got here Marvin Shabazz,
:16:20
the man next in line to fight James Roper.
:16:23
Well, that's how it should be.
But I got a bad feeling about this one.
:16:27
And if Sultan doesn't give us a shot at the title
and he tries to duck us, we will sue him.
:16:33
That's right.
And I will support these men, honorable...
:16:36
I'll take it, baby.
These are honorable men, very... uh, yes.
:16:40
We are honorable men,
but I've worked too hard for this.
:16:44
I am the No. 1 contender.
I'm tired of James the poodle -
:16:47
"Grim Reaper", whatever
he calls himself - ducking me.
:16:50
I'm tired of him driving around
in eight Rolls-Royces. He's fought nobody.
:16:54
- I'm still in a Brougham.
- Exactly.
:16:57
- A what?
- Uh, a Brougham.
